Abstract

Translate

School transfers were traced through the first five years of elementary school for 767 Baltimore (Maryland) children. Data on transfers, grade level progression, special education placements, achievement, family circumstances, and race indicated that school transfers were frequent, and patterned along racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic lines. Findings indicated that low income, minority children are challenged academically for many reasons. (SM)
